The washware item to be cleaned can preferably manually be placed into the treatment zone via the placement area and the cleaned washware item can preferably manually be removed from the treatment zone via the removal area. The placement area and the removal area are disposed opposite one another with the interposition of the treatment zone. At least one bracket (15) is provided in the treatment zone for in particular releasably securing and/or positioning the washware item placed onto a placement surface (20) in the treatment zone.
